Better College Habits

I know it’s hard, but we make time for the things that are import to us. Again, I’m not saying it’s easy. Trust me, it doesn’t get easier out of college either. That’s why you need to buckle down and make it a priority now. Because the “right time” will never come. There will always be something ready to derail you off your course. I always say if I could go back to when I was in college I would tell myself “work harder now, so that you don’t have to later!” Now, I’m a 35 year old woman. I have two kids, one is autistic and the other in her terrible two’s. My husband works opposite shifts than I do, so I’m alone with the kids every night having to do all the cooking cleaning, bathing, homework helping etc. I’m the training director for a top 10 Fortune 500 company. I work 60+ a week, and am on call 24/7 365. If that’s not enough, my company wants to promote me but can’t with out a masters, so I’m also a full time student. I telling you, I wish I would have done all of these things long long ago. I kept putting everything off thinking a better time would come and it never did. So please, learn from my lesson.
